From the article “Asked on “Fox & Friends” earlier Monday if he would pursue charges, Klotz was noncommittal. “I want someone to be held responsible, but really what I want is some sort of change.””
If Klotz doesn’t press charges then he is part of the problem and is enabling the deviant behavior of the thugs.
If Klotz does not press charges he is an accessory to all of their future crimes that they would not have committed when they were in prison.
After reading his entire response, I’m thinking maybe he didn’t get enough of a beating. Not wanting “revenge” is to completely misunderstand the purpose of laws and law enforcement. It’s fine (and even good) if he individually does not want to seek revenge, but the government punishing law breakers is not “revenge”, it’s justice. And ironically, his other wish that this would not happen to anyone else is at odds with his desire not to seek what he mischaracterizes as “revenge.” If he doesn’t press charges, it is guaranteed that this will happen to someone else (though we also know that NYC punishment for crime is virtually non existent, but it’s better to try than to ignore it).
He can’t just “press charges.” He would have to hire a lawyer and go through civil court. The perps would get public defenders, and then the lawfare begins.
Whether he will or not, I don’t know. But he’s been through a lot already. Highlighting the problem is worthy, too.
